Drawer Glide, Broyhill, 149-4762-20

I need wooden drawer glides for a 40-year old Broyhill Dresser, the model # stamped on the back of the dresser is 149-4762-20.
Can you tell me how I get these?

Thank you for contacting us.

We are going to need to see a picture of your drawer hardware to figure out what drawer system Broyhill used in their 149-4762-20 dresser. We should be able to suggest a replacement for your glides after we see determine the drawer system. Also, let us know if you see any markings or names on any of the hardware pieces.

Hello,

I have a upright Broyhill dresser that I need a wooden drawer glide for. The item # for the dresser is 4042-40. The name of the dresser piece is Maison Lenoir. The current drawer glide is all chewed up from the bottom of the dresser drawer.
Thanks for your help.

thank you
Melissa

I have the exact same Maison Lenoir furniture with the same problem--chest and dresser with splintered glides, but also bent metal runners. The drawers are inoperable and I have been trying to get replacement parts for months now. No luck with retailers or manufacturer. I see the parts that Swisco recommended, but they do not seem to be the same configuration. If I only had to replace the wood glide it would be simpler, but the metal part is very bent out of shape on most of the drawers as well. It doesn't look like the recommended replacement parts have two components. What would serve to replace the bent metal part? See images submitted by Dennis to reference what I need. Thank you so much for any help you can offer.

I also have a dresser with the combined metal and wood track system (Metal runner on bottom of the drawer, wood track that it runs on). What can I use to replace both of these parts? The metal is bent and the wood is chewed up.

I also have a Broyhill dresser that is about 20 years old. The piece that is broken on my dresser looks exactly like the metal drawer runner in your photo. I see Dennis has the opposite problem and needs a wooden runner but in my case the metal track attached to the drawer broke. Can you suggest a replacement part for that as well? The metal piece measures 14 1/2 inches.

I have a similar problem. In my case, I need two of the metal rails. The wood peices are fine. It is unfortunate that I cannot find a match for these easily. They are so common. I have taken to hunting for old furniture to scavenge. If someone knows where to find an exact match for these simple metal slides, please let me know.

Did anyone find a solution? None of the suggestions will work because of the length/fastening requirements for the Broyhill drawer. Please help!

I have the same wooded draw glides on a older chest of drawers. What I ended up doing was sand off the rest of the broken glide, and then turned it upside down and those bottom wings worked well as the draw glides.

Same issue as above but with a night table that is 25 plus years old. Used the "Complete Wood Track Drawer Kit Product Code: 32-055". Worked ok but I did need to do some "creative engineering", trimming down the back plate and leaving the drawers metal guide in place. The drawer works well now and my wife if much happier.
